				 <h4>What is Sim-OnDemand? </h4>
						Sim-OnDemand is a launcher application that makes it easy to run Opensimulator 3D virtual world software on Amazon cloud(EC2).   
				 <br><br><h4>I get 'AuthFailure: Subscription to Product Code 9E6D5AB5 required' error?</h4>
					Please subscribe to the AMI before using it. Get started at the <a href="http://simondemand.ec29.com/index.html" >Sim-OnDemand website</a>.
				  <br><br><h4>What are the system reqirements?</h4>
				  	Sim-OnDemand launcher application works only with firefox browser( version 2 and above).
				  	
				  	<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The launcher application runs firefox with its own custom '(user)Profile'. This is so to avoid messing with your regular firefox settings/experience. 
				  	One consequence is, you may have to set the network/proxy settings to get the launcher application working.
				  	<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The recommended way is to run a regular firefox browsing session, and then activate the run.bat/run.sh script of Sim-OnDemand. 
				  	Keeping the regular firefox browsing session open ensurs browse requests are directed to it rather than Sim-OnDemand firefox session.    
				  	<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sufficient time gap(~30sec-1m)  is to be given between operations so that state is updated based on EC2 API return value.
				  <br><br><h4>What login name/password do I use to login to the Opensim</h4>
				  Use (First Name, Lastname):<br> Test User <br> Password: test
				  <br><br><h4>How to access the OpenSim Console?</h4>
				  ssh to the instance using the hostname shown in the launcher. If you have filled in the keypair-name field, use that key for the ssh session.
				  <br> Else use the certificate file, SimOnDemand-key.pem in the ffprofile directory. You may have to make the file readonly by owner (chmod 600 SimOnDemand-key.pem).
				  <br> login as root with the ssh key. Once logged in, you can connect to the OpenSim console by restoring the screen session by:
				  <br> <tt>screen -r simond/Opensim </tt>
